      That’s kinda generous considering the other thing you could call him. To quote Sam ‘s pinker impression from We’re in Hell

      “This is the best time to be alive, you get to be told how smart you are about linguistics, you can buy Mad Scientist brand conditioner, you can even fly around on a plane with a fun guy and his young massage friends!”

        Harvard professors all seem to be prominent defenders of the status quo. Bet it's just like that out of coincidence.

      He wishes he was a nerd, nerds are supposed to be smart. Nothing that I've heard or read about Pinker suggests in any way to me that he's above average intelligence.
